Schau, lieber Gott, wie meine Feind

Cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750)

5. Und ob gleich alle Teufel  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[ ... ]

5. Und ob gleich alle Teufel
Hier wollten widerstehn,
So wird doch ohne Zweifel
Gott nicht zurücke gehn:
Was er [ihm]1 vorgenommen
Und was er haben will,
Das muß doch endlich kommen
Zu seinem Zweck und Ziel.
